Campus MinisterMINISTRY / LOCATIONTulane CatholicEMPLOYMENT STATUSFull-Time | ExemptWORK ARRANGEMENTOn-SiteEMPLOYERArchdiocese of New OrleansREPORTS TODirector of Tulane CatholicPosition OverviewTulane Catholic is in a season of renewal. We are intentionally and energetically working to build a vibrant Catholic community for a new generation of Tulane students.The Campus Minister's work is both relational and organizational. On the relational side, the job is presence and outreach: being at Mass, meals, and events, getting to know students, and following up with those who are new or drifting.Just as important, the Campus Minister is a facilitator. Because the Director and several members of the leadership team serve Tulane Catholic part-time, the Campus Minister is the steady, full-time presence who holds the day-to-day ministry together. Working closely with the Director, the Ministry Operations Manager, our FOCUS missionaries, and student leaders, the Campus Minister keeps people and plans connected so that retreats, formation, events, and student leadership work together as one ministry. This means coordinating rather than owning every initiative: making sure the right people are talking, the calendar holds together, and nothing falls through the cracks.We are looking for someone who enjoys college students, works well on a team, has the follow-through to manage details, and wants to invest in students and their leadership over the long term.Compensation and BenefitsSalary: $50,000 to $55,000 annually
